Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has led the NFL in both rushing yardage and carries in two of his first three seasons as a professional. Now, the 24-year old is skipping Cowboys’ training camp until presumably a new financial deal can be reached.
Elliott is scheduled to make a base salary of $3.8 million in 2019, that according to spotrac.com. Because the Cowboys picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie deal as a former first round selection, that salary jumps to just over $9 million in 2020, making his current average salary approximately $6.
